    Time Magazine holds poll to ban a word in 2015. "Feminist" leading the poll [Final Update]

    Especially with feminists being so well known for their sense of humor, self awareness, and overall fun loving attitudes. Ahem....That uh...That was also sarcasm. Just so there's not another mix up.

    Time Magazine holds poll to ban a word in 2015. "Feminist" leading the poll [Final Update]

    Why am I surprised... "Poe's law, in broader form, states: Without a blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of extremism or fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing" Maybe feminism really should be banned when multiple people request a source...

    Time Magazine holds poll to ban a word in 2015. "Feminist" leading the poll [Final Update]

    They did. Here's the list they wanted to ban... Man Brother Father Son Equality Creativity Merit Talent Effort Ability Reason Tolerance Logic Rational Fact Reality They also wanted to switch the word "criticism" with the word "harassment" and the word "penis" with the word...

    Jimquisition: The 100% Objective Review

    Do people not know what things mean? A hypothetical situation in which I clearly implore you to use your imagination is NOT a straw man. I am not misrepresenting an argument. I am stating an entirely different point about why reviewers injecting their own brand of propaganda into reviews can...

    Jimquisition: The 100% Objective Review

    I remember when Sterling pretended to be pro-consumer. Now he defends corrupt and hack reviewers with an incredibly weak strawman about 100% objectivity. But at least we see him for who he is now. Objectivity is about fairness, facts, and neutrality. It's something you never 100% achieve...

    14,000 men in the US military were raped last year. Little to none of them reported it.

    Um....These numbers are crazy. And I don't mean "crazy" as in surprising, but "crazy" as in literally unbelievable. There are 1.5 million active duty U.S. troops in various branches of the military. The current rape rate in the US is about 25 per 100,000 people. 14k rapes a year...

    Report: Only 30 Percent of Marvel/DC Characters Female

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law It really is frightening that even absurd sarcasm is almost indistinguishable from some feminist extremists.

    Report: Only 30 Percent of Marvel/DC Characters Female

    This is the most tragic thing I've ever read. We should just do away with the first amendment, round up all of the comic writers in a government controlled camp, and force them to create female characters at the end of a whip. How else will we ever free ourselves from this patriarchy? This is...

    You don't have to be afraid of taking a public stance against #GamerGate.

    But you didn't hear about it from Jim Sterling. It was relayed to you by Jim Sterling because he's only good at jumping on a bandwagon when it's already started instead of putting his ass on the line himself. And you sure as hell didn't hear about it from games media. You heard about it from...

    You don't have to be afraid of taking a public stance against #GamerGate.

    You can't even get your own story straight. On the one hand you say it's a small minority and then praise the articles that say "Gamers are Dead." Strange, they didn't say "A Small Minority of Vocal Gamers are Dead," did they? A coordinated attack on all gamers by a series of media outlets...

    You don't have to be afraid of taking a public stance against #GamerGate.

    Yeah, predictable. Minimize it. Act like when one side does it it's the end of the world and proof that an entire group of people are worthy of condemnation, but when the side you agree with does it it's not big deal and the people deserve it. You prove yourself to be a hypocrite. Next time...

    You don't have to be afraid of taking a public stance against #GamerGate.

    Really? You want to play this game? And what about Leigh Alexanders hateful and racist tirades? Her repeated doxxing of critics? The constant stream of articles over the last several years calling gamers misogynists and how games promote rape? The syringe sent to Milo? A writer at the...

    You don't have to be afraid of taking a public stance against #GamerGate.

    And who determines credibility? The games media? It seems to me that people can make their own decisions on how credible gamergate is by using it or not using it. How naive can you be? They're going to attack people under one label or another. Do you not know what spawned gamergate? A...

    You don't have to be afraid of taking a public stance against #GamerGate.

    Yes, by the unethical "journalists" who control the narrative and write non-stop attack pieces on anything and anyone that dares question their authority or self-proclaimed moral high ground. This is like saying you should stop fighting in a war because the enemy is fighting back. Obviously...

    You don't have to be afraid of taking a public stance against #GamerGate.

    Does it? Maybe you shouldn't start your thread with a statement that completely contradicts your entire thread. No, you don't need to be afraid. You do, however, need to be afraid of taking a public stance for GG, or even taking a neutral stance (As both gaymerx and a polygon employee...
